We are a family-owned farm that has been breeding heritage poultry in the Alberta Foothills for over 5 years. We started with just a small incubator and have grown to hatching over 500 chicks annually. We take pride in providing our customers with quality chicks and hatching eggs
We offer 7 different breeds of large (standard) fowl and 1 bantam (miniature) breed. They are:
Black Copper Marans
Silver Double Laced Barnevelders
Salmon Faverolles
Isabel Orpingtons
Blue and Splash Laced Wyandottes
Crested Cream Legbars
Barred Rocks
Bearded Belgian D’Uccles Mille Fleur (Bantam)
For the DIY's we are happy to offer hatching eggs. Availability will depend on how that breed is laying and current chick orders. We test all the eggs in our own incubators and do our best to ensure our customers quality fertilized eggs. Shipping available within Canada at buyers expense.
To fellow enthusiasts who would like to hatch their own eggs without all the hassle, we offer custom hatching. Bring your own eggs and we will do the rest! Accepting quail, chicken, duck and turkey.

Have a question or want to place an order? Check out our frequently asked questions page or drop us a line.
Unfortunately the answer is no. We are a small farm that keeps our breeding stock year round to produce chicks and eggs. We have one breed that will sex by color at hatch, called Cream Legbars. Our other breeds are sold straight-run (un-sexed) and we do not vent sex. Sometimes in the fall we may have grow-outs that don't meet our breed standards, but that is not always guaranteed. Please reach out to inquire about any potential availability.
We do not require a minimum order to purchase chicks or eggs. Keep in mind when ordering chicks straight run; the law of averages would predict 50% male 50% female. The larger the quantity, the more accurate this becomes. So if you wanted 5 hens, 10 chicks would be best to order.
Heritage breeds are more seasonal layers. We typically start waitlists in January and book spring/summer orders as they come in. To place an order, please contact us via Facebook or Email. Please let us know the breed and quantity you are interested and preferred weekend for pick up. During the peak season we do not require a deposit on chick orders. Hatching eggs prior to being shipped must be paid in full and a deposit is required for custom hatching.
In the warmer months, we are happy to ship eggs for hatching within Canada. Shipping costs would be at the buyers expense. We will package the eggs the best we can, but there are no guarantees on shipped eggs. We do not offer shipping on live chicks.
Our chicks will typically be 3-5 days old when going to their new home. This is to ensure they are eating and drinking well and showing all the signs of thriving. We do not vaccinate our chicks and recommend feeding a medicated starter. They will need a supplemental heat source until their feathers have grown in, and they can regulate their own heat. A water source that is safe and regularly refreshed is a must.
Unfortunately the answer is no. Not that you can't eat the chickens we breed, but heritage breeds are longer, slower growing birds. They are not the commercial type growers/layers that are suited to that type of production.
